Jody Rogers

Hey everyone I’m Jody 👋🏻 a nail technician based in Newport, South Wales. I live with my partner Brian and our two crazy fur babies Dexter (Long Haired Chihuahua) & Hugo (Boss) the Pug!  

I have just celebrated 20 years of hands-on experience in the beauty industry (how the heck did that happen?!) My journey began at the age of 16, when I trained in makeup as part of my Level 3 NVQ in Beauty and Spa Therapy. But it was nails that truly captured my heart, and that passion quickly grew into a lifelong career. At the age 18, I opened my first salon and have been proudly self-employed ever since. 

Today, I work full-time from my home studio, where I welcome clients into a calm, professional space and do what I love every single day!! Over the years, I’ve seen the nail industry evolve in so many ways and it’s that constant change and creativity that keeps me inspired and driven to stay at the top of my game! 

I also hold a teaching degree and spent five years teaching nail technology and beauty therapy in further education. Whilst I loved guiding the next generation of nail/beauty professionals, I found the college system overly rigid and outdated. When I left to focus on my own business, I always knew I’d come back to teaching one day, in a way that felt fresh, relevant, and follows the same values as I do - Enter CJP! 🥰

I’m soooooo ridiculously proud to educate alongside a brand I’ve trusted and used for YEARS!  Being able to share my knowledge and experience with both clients and students is something I truly treasure. Nails was NEVER a natural talent for me, so I PROMISE you, if you are struggling with something, I guarantee I will have been there at some point too! My sheer stubbornness got me through, and now I want to help YOU get that lightbulb moment too! 

Thank you for reading… and I can’t wait to welcome you into my studio!
